Peter Grenell, General Manager for the San Mateo County Harbor District dashed off this eleventh hour letter to the Coastal Commission during a hearing in Long Beach.

On June 14, 2013, the coastal development permit was moved to the consent calendar with conditions. The Commission approved the permit on the condition that the project be scaled back from 5,600 to 3,500 cubic yards of sediment. When referencing the letter Coastal Commission staff said that the Harbor District has agreed to seek alternative sites.
